I love listening to Molko sing this, especially when I'm feeling down and isolated..something about this makes me feel not so alone. Thanks for posting the full version! ^_^
i don't understand a single word of what he said but his french is so beautiful!!!! just for him i will learn french!!! omfg i want to see him again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just one world to describe him PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!
i don't understand a single word of what he said but his french is so beautiful!!!! just for him i will learn french!!! omfg i want to see him again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just one world to describe him PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is a beautiful cover of a beautiful song, this is one of those songs you'd love to hear your'e favorite band play, rite now im just imaging how could it would be to hear the beatles, hendrix, hell even punk bands like misfits even with danzig or graves id like to here grateful dead do it, and if you're a fan of metal even slayer could cover this good this is truely a good song
Have you seen that looks and smile of Brian? I think it was at Stefan.. it were so love looks and smile..he is totaly in Stefan im sure....and it cute:)
@KattizLovesTH actually he refers to a town in scotland as the place where he grew up, but he went to school in luxembourg... That's where he learnt french...
My brave Lancelot! like i've said "how old is she?" gongli* awesome video, with a awesome voice that reminds me a female friend that sings like david bowie and bryan molko! :p
someone was asking for the chords, it's actually really easy...
G, Em, A, C
it only changes at the part, "and all the fat, skinny people," where you have to go from the usual C to Am, C, Am, C, G, C, D, Am, C, and then back to G.
he´s just amazing...intelligent,handsome...some guys make fun of him but it's just jealousy speaking louder....they're jealous because inspite of being bissexual girls love him....BRIAN YOU'RE THE MAN*
Bowie shows more emotion in his version, but Brian has a better voice..and therefore can sing the song on a different level, both versions are good in different ways, no need to compare them...thats just stupid
Both Brian and David Bowie sound great doing this song just different sounds as one is much older therefore has a mature voice. Bowie is a legend of that no one can deny and usually most dont.
no way man, i know what you meen but i fink he has choosen to cover the song for a reason and he blatently relates to it. dont know love both versions soooooooooo much.
Brian also says, for those who don't speak french :"This is one of the first song I learnt to play on guitar, and that's also why I wanted to play it today"
He said, it's'nt the most famous Bowie Song. It come from a realy important album. I luv it because it's realy important in our world, she is realy apocaliptic...
Ok ;)
Voilà, amis francais, pour que cela soit accessible à tout le monde ^
the announcer asks brain about the song asking "its not his best known song, is it, brian?" and brian says "no, its not the best known but it comes from a very well known album called 'ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars' and it's the first song on the album. and i think it's message still has worth today because it's apocolyptic."
and then at the end he says "thats the 1st song that i learned to play on the guitar and thats why i played it"
beautiful <3

bowiefan4evr 5 years ago
I think Bowie's always had a voice fitting of an older man, since early 20s.
Five Years was first put to tape when Bowie was far younger than Brian.
Ofcourse this doesn't affect your statement at all really, I'm only saying :) :P
